Chapter 279
Not to mention that the fierce general Shi Wansui slaughtered all directions in the center of the car city circle, on the periphery of the circle, Wu Anjun Bai Qi left the watchtower of Langshan for the first time, and came to the front to command the army in person.
The 200,000 troops, under the command of Bai Qi, broke through the Checheng circle layer by layer.
The Checheng Circle Formation has lost its command center. Although it is still barely functioning, it has lost the essence of the formation.
On the contrary, under the command of Bai Qi, the Qin army combined infantry and cavalry, or defended in formation, or advanced with iron cavalry, or flanked back and forth, or lured the enemy deep, or made a frontal surprise attack.
All of these, General Bai Qi commanded the army in a flowing manner, like a whole, accurately nibbling away at the Zhao army in the formation step by step. Zhao Jun was divided into several layers by the large formation, and his previous advantage instantly became a disadvantage.
Zhao Zhuang escaped from the burnt military order building and tried to re-command the army, but unfortunately, he was unable to do what he wanted.
Therefore, at the foot of the gate, the thrilling contest began to enter a white-hot stage. In the round formation of Checheng, the sound of killing shook the sky, smoke and dust billowed, and the thin mist was stirred up and down by the army.
The wonderland in the early morning turned into hell in an instant.
Within a radius of ten miles, 200,000 Qin troops and 100,000 Zhao troops are intertwined, black and red are mixed together, moving around, fighting each other, there is me in you, and you in me, like a vivid sketch .
The earth is the drawing board, the soldiers are the paint, and Bai Qi is the real painter.
As the battle situation progressed, black began to gain the upper hand, a torrent of black swept away the red waves, and then divided and encircled them one by one, launching a cruel encirclement and suppression.
Slowly, the red became thinner and thinner, and black began to become the main color. The messy red was mixed in the black sea, like rootless duckweed, floating with the waves.
At the end of the battle, the Checheng circle had completely failed, and Zhao Jun was defeated.
Zhao Zhuang was also decisive, seeing that there was nothing to be done, he immediately gathered the army and withdrew towards the old pass, trying to keep the vital strength of the Zhao army. The army fought and retreated, and soon returned to the old pass.
Don't chase the poor bandits. Seeing that Zhao Jun abandoned the battle and fled, Bai Qi ordered to stop the pursuit.
This battle can be called a rabbit ups and downs.
According to statistics after the war, the Qin army destroyed the Checheng circle at the cost of 10,000 deaths, and the Zhao army left more than 30,000 corpses and fled back to the old pass in embarrassment.
After breaking the formation, the grain and grass left by Zhao Jun in the formation were naturally cheaper for Qin Jun.
Bai Qi did not relax, and ordered to build a new camp at the foot of Guguan based on the materials of the Checheng circle, referred to as the southern camp, completely blocking the way for Zhao Jun to go south.
After the war, Bai Qi moved the shogunate of the Chinese army from Langshan to the Wangling camp. Meng Ao's army, which was originally stationed in the camp of Wangling, joined Wang's army and entered the southern camp at the foot of Guguan.
As for the iron cavalry led by Huan He, they were stationed in the camp of the Royal Tomb, serving as the general support of the whole army, and at the same time responsible for guarding the safety of the army's food roads.
Of the 1,000 commandos who contributed the most to this war, only 400 people survived in the end. Out of the 700 warriors of the Shanhai County Imperial Guard Brigade, there are less than 300 left, which shows how tragic the fighting scene was at that time.
When Shi Wansui walked out of the formation, he looked like a bloody man, his body was covered with the blood of the enemy, and even his face could not be distinguished, like a Shura who walked out of hell.
The soldiers of the Qin army looked at Shi Wansui with reverence in their eyes.
Ouyang Shuo also felt very gratified, whether it was the battle of Zhuolu, the battle of Muye, or the current battle of Changping, Shi Wansui could always stand up at critical moments and solve problems for him.
The battle of Zhuolu against Chi You, the battle of Muye built a steel defense line, and the battle of Changping acted as the vanguard of the assault. He was really the god of war in the army, the iron-blooded warrior.
Seeing that Shi Wansui was so mighty, Elai felt a surge of energy in his heart, wanting to find a chance to prove it. Rakshasa under him felt his master's fighting spirit, and roared loudly: "Nian~~~"
Ouyang Shuo looked at this scene amusedly, shook his head and remained silent. Once the car city circle is broken, the overall situation has been settled, and the end of the Changping battle is not far away.
*************
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
In the Changping Valley, fierce battles are in full swing, and the battle in the north begins at the same time.
Zhao Kuo led the 150,000 Guguan garrison and joined the 50,000 Huguan garrison going south, making a total of 200,000 troops. Like a sea of flames, they rushed straight to the Yingbao camp.
Instantly, the pressure on the Yingbao camp increased greatly, and dangers abounded. Fortunately, after this period of reinforcement and transformation, the fortress has become an iron-blooded fortress, and all kinds of defense equipment are densely arranged. Ying Bao is also an iron-blooded warrior. He took the lead and led the soldiers of the Qin army to tenaciously repel the attacks of the Zhao army time and time again.
For a while, although Zhao Jun had the advantage, he was unable to break into the camp.
It can be seen that the battle to capture the Yingbao camp is about to turn into a long and bitter battle. At this moment, the news that the Checheng circle was broken and Zhao Zhuang's army was defeated and returned came to Zhao Kuo's ears, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which made Zhao Kuo dizzy. Zhao Kuo couldn't imagine how the unparalleled defensive formation was broken by the Qin army in a short period of time.
Once the round formation of Checheng was broken, there was no barrier to the south of the fortress of Guanguan. Facing the threat of the Qin army, the Qin army might attack the fortress at any time, and the pressure on the Zhao army increased. In such a situation, how can Zhao Kuo be able to attack the Yingbao camp with peace of mind.
Not allowing Zhao Kuo to think about it, the leader of the scouts then reported another piece of bad news: "The scouts came to report that a group of Qin troops suddenly bypassed the Taihang Mountains and broke in from the mouth of the pot. When the main force of the defenders of the Huguan Fortress went south, they had already occupied Huguan. The 10,000 defenders in the fortress were all killed."
When Zhao Kuo heard the news, he staggered and was about to stand unsteadily. His face paled instantly, without a trace of blood, and there was a sense of despair in his eyes.
Seeing the general's demeanor, the scout chief felt sorry for him. Zhao Jun finally reversed the situation of the battle, and in an instant, the situation of the battle came to another 180-degree reversal.
Whoever it is, can't accept it for a while, let alone Zhao Kuo, who has always been arrogant.
After the fall of Yewang Fortress, King Qin Zhao recruited new troops in Hanoi. This secret army, Bai Qi has not activated, but let them along the Taihang Mountains, quietly go north, waiting for the opportunity.
Bai Qi's original plan was to use this large army to contain and block the reinforcements from the vassal states. Unexpectedly, the Wei army was so vulnerable that it was beaten to pieces by the Qin army's 100,000 cavalry. It scared the courage of the five Shandong countries at once, and no reinforcements dared to go to the Changping theater.
Even so, considering that the Qin army in the Changping theater is sufficient, it is still sufficient to deal with the immediate battle situation. Bai Qi still didn't transfer this army to Changping, but let the army lurk.
According to Bai Qi's marching style, he still did not give up the siege of Zhao Jun, so he decided on the sixteen-character strategy to defeat the enemy. Huguan became the best breakthrough in Bai Qi's eyes.
Sure enough, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
Under Bai Qi's deliberate temptation, the young Zhao Kuo still couldn't hold back, and wanted to annihilate the Yingbao army and win a brilliant victory. As everyone knows, he has already fallen into the trap set by Bai Qi.
The battle situation went smoothly according to Bai Qi's deduction. The only accident may be that Zhao Kuo set up the car city circle, which made Bai Qi very distressed for a while.
Fortunately, under Ouyang Shuo's whimsical thinking, the accident was eliminated, and the battle situation returned to Bai Qi's chessboard. With such a huge arrangement, no one except Bai Qi and the generals of the Qin army could see the whole picture.
It was because of this that Bai Qi appreciated Ouyang Shuo so much. Because if it wasn't for Ouyang Shuo's scheme, Bai Qi's entire military plan would have been in vain.
Seizing the opportunity when the Huguan defenders left the pass, the Qin army captured the fortress of Huguan in one fell swoop, completely cutting off the passage of Zhao Jun's food and grass and the only way for Zhao Jun to return to Handan.
At this point, after some arrangements, the battle situation miraculously returned to the scene at the beginning of the battle. The 300,000 Zhao army was besieged by the 400,000 Qin army in Guguan, unable to move.
To the north of the pass, 100,000 Qin troops stationed at Huguan; to the west, the Yingbao camp was as solid as gold; to the south, 200,000 Qin troops stationed at the southern camp and the Wangling camp; to the east, there were mountains with no birds.
After capturing Huguan, the 100,000 Qin army stationed at Huguan, under Bai Qi's order, dispatched 40,000 cavalry to reinforce the Yingbao camp, completely cutting off the possibility of the Zhao army capturing the camp.
"Withdraw the troops and return to the old pass!" After a long silence, Zhao Kuo said in an inaudible voice.
At the critical moment, Zhao Kuo still maintained a semblance of reason and did not forcefully attack the Yingbao camp. The round formation of Checheng was broken, and if the fight continued, before the camp of Yingbao fell, Guguan would fall first.
At that time, the 200,000 Zhao troops had no camp to defend, and no food and grass to support them, so they were really in a desperate situation, exactly the same as the previous situation. Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but shudder.
Therefore, Zhao Kuo must take advantage of the time when the Qin army is repairing, withdraw to the old pass fortress in time, and guard the pass, hoping that the country can recruit reinforcements to rescue. Anyway, there is still food and grass in the fortress of Guguan that can be used by the army for a month.
As long as Zhao Jun can't hold on, Qin Jun won't be able to take Guguan Fortress smoothly.
After the army withdrew from the front line, Zhao Kuo fell ill, with persistent high fever and confusion. Zhao Jun lost his backbone and faced a desperate situation, and his morale dropped to the lowest point in history.
Fortunately, at this time, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng stepped forward to appease the army.
Knowing that Huguan was occupied by the Qin army, Dichen and others were ashamed. After several rounds of fierce battles, the Alien Legion of Zhao's camp has less than 10,000 people, and they can no longer control the situation of the battle. All plans fell through.
The only fortunate thing may be to successfully subdue the two generals. Dichen personally rushed to Handan, and managed to subdue Lianpo by some means. With its dazzling performance, Zhan Lang successfully won Zhaozhuang.
Only Zhao Kuo, although the mission was triggered by Lord Chunshen, it is still unknown whether the current situation can be successfully subdued in the end.
The drama is about to end!
